Team Meetings

Training and continuing educationNetworkingFriendships - a major factor in people's longevity in the businessFUN!Date, Time, Location

For the purposes of consistency, choose a date and time that remains unchanged month to month (ie; the last Monday of the month at 7pm)

Duration of a meeting should be 2 hours. Begin and end ON TIME!Choose a central location that is easy to find.At the beginning, meetings may be small an held in a homeFirst goal is to move to a meeting room at a restaurant or libraryUltimately, grow your team large enough to meet in a hotel room.o We encourage all consultants from one area to meet together; there is power in numbers!

Key Ingredients of a successful meeting

Appeal to each personality and learning styleVariety!Remember to include in every meeting:~ Fun!

Personalizing productCreating recruiting bindersHostess or recruiting posters to display at Celebrations or booths~ Training on the basics

- Selling, including all the elements of a Celebration- Recruiting- Training should be done by top performers. Use traditional lecture format, role playing, or skits.

Recognition

Recognition should always come from you as the leader

Keep it simple; it is not necessary to know everyone's stats

“Stand up” recognition in some of these suggested categories: Sales, Recruits, LLL Clubs, # of Celebrations held and highest dollar sales at a Celebration. Be creative, recognizing activity as well as results!

Top performer in each category tells how they did it in the form of one “quick tip”

Prizes - people love them! Consider having a small gift basket of goodies or business supplies for top performers to choose from

~ Product Knowledge

Key component of each meetingGives consultants confidence for their presentationsInsures consultants will continue to be their own “best customer”Educates consultants on product whether or not they actually “own” the product.Ideas for product knowledge

About Me

Shawna’s addiction to bath and body products has been going on since she was a little girl. When the founders of Urban Botanic approached her with their hot new company and asked for feedback, she not only gave it willingly, she joined the crusade the next day!
